Main 5045 PILSENER, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Sinclair Lewis Holds Class With Clergy To Get Views for New Book on Ministry By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, May 18.—A “Sun- day school class,” in whic¢h he studied ministers at close range and got their views on the church and in turn ex- pounded his own doctrines, was con ducted in his apartment by Sin- clair Lewls, author, during a stay of more than a month here. This was learned yesterday following M Lewlis' departure for Minneapoli where he will continue writing his next novel, which is to deal with the ministry, Mr. Lewls left for Minnesota in a motor car with Earl Blackman, as sociate pastor at the Linwood Boule. vard Christlan Church here. They are masquerading as book agents and will interview country preachers en route, Existence of the “class’ was learn- ed from Rev. Bert Fiske, pastor of the Ottawa Federated Church at Ot- tawa, Kans. He was one of the out- of-town guests at the weekly confer- ences and, returning home, preached a sermon outlining some of Mr. Lewis' views as to the modern church. He was asked by the board of deacons to resign, but the congre- gation refused to afcept his resigna- tion. The weekly meetings were attended by 18 or 20 ministers, according to who came from Lutheran, Methodist, Congregational, an., Baptist, Unitarian and Episcopal churches. One Jewish rabbi also attended. A desire to derive any possible bene- fit by hearing the word of a critic of the church was given by the minis. ters as the reason why they attended the “class,” according to Mr. Fiske. Mr. Fiske said that in the first meet- ing of the “class” Mr. Lewis told the ministers they were a “fine bunch’ and that they “got up and preached things that nefther you nor your con- gregations belleve.” “The world needs a new church, standing on new principles.” Mr. Lewis told his “class,” according to Mr. Fiske. “Who will be the twen. tieth century Martin Luther to come out flat-footedly and tell the truth about the hypocrisies and insanities of the existing church?” THREE-MILE SWIM CARDED AUGUST 28 Announcement of August 28 as the date set for the second annual Presi- dent’s Cup race for the national long distance team swimming champion- ship was made today through Guy M.
